USA Today is reporting that after spending one season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Dwight Howard will be moving on to play with the Houston Rockets as part of a rebuilding effort that will pair him with James Harden in the hopes of creating a title contender in Texas.

Howard's journey through free agency has been one of the main story lines this NBA offseason. After a tumultuous time in Los Angeles, it appeared Howard was ready to move on from an old, underachieving Lakers team to another contender.

In recent weeks, it had been reported that Howard had met with the Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks and Lakers. However, after he eliminated a few teams Friday, the report emerged that Howard had decided on Houston.

After the USA Today story broke, Howard's agent told Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski the center had not chosen a team. Later, Wojnarowski ended up backing the USA Today report, saying Howard had decided on the Rockets but had yet to finalize the agreement.
